Vamplets was celebrating a recent Kickstarter success at San Diego Comic-Con and their booth was fittingly decked out with gothic theming. The success in question was, of course, their campaign for the production of the Undead Baby Dragon and trio of Bitemares, all of which were available for purchase at the con. The Ghost Pony's saddle, another part of the Kickstarter campaign, was also in stock. I can't tell you how darling these plushes are. They are so much fun and more than a little quirky. The details, like the Undead Baby Dragon's bone bell necklace, show how much love and thought went into the designs. Attendees wanting to delve deeper into the characters' world had a chance to purchase not only the Vamplets comics (including a special, limited edition of Book Two) but also The Undead Pet Society spin-off, a Kickstarter exclusive.

NARUTO from “NARUTO SHIPPUDEN” recreated as a high quality 1/6-statue. By interchanging the heads, arms and toes, he poses in various ways such as fist bump with a friendly look, attack mode with forming hand seals and holding a kunai, Nine Tails Naruto, and more. All his facial expressions have been carefully sculpted to show the emotion of grown-up ninja, grinning, stern and rage. The statue features a detailed costume capturing every wrinkle and texture, an indicator of the craftsmanship of this masterpiece. Height: Approximately 27cm height Material: PVC/ABS Packing Size: 380mm X 250mm X160mm Toywiz and Toy Garden will be taking preorder now for this Sentinel Sixth Scale PVC figure for RM469 and estimated arrival date is Dec 2014.

RAIDEN, the enormously popular central character from the mega hit action game “Metal Gear Rising Revengence,” is recreated as a PVC statue. The heroic pose, grabbing a “SELF REPAIR UNIT” extracted (“ZANDATSU KILL”) from the enemy cyborg soldier in his left hand, and his HF blade in the right, highlights the best part of Akao’s technique. The statue features a well-balanced & beautiful muscular body which also illustrates his outstanding skill. The highly detailed mechanical designs of the weapons and overlapping armor are digitally sculpted by Akao’s brother. This is their first collaboration. The eye glows red with a mounted LED in the head. The closed visor for battle mode is available with optional parts. The “HF MURASAMA BLADE” left by his worthy rival, Jet stream Sam, is interchangeable in his right hand, and the scabbard in his left hand. As for the cyborg soldier lying at his feet, shows not only the abject cut surface of the body, but also “the expression of the dying arm” trying to say something. This masterpiece thoroughly supervised by Yoji Shinkawa (the art director of Kojima Production) is the most “pictorial” and “beautiful” RAIDEN ever. Height: Approximately 32cm height Material: PVC/ABS Packing Size: 380mm X 250mm X160mm Toywiz and Toy Garden will be taking preorder now for this Sentinel Sixth Scale PVC figure for RM699 and estimated arrival date is Jan/Feb 2015.

Fo' Chisel, a wooden and resin DIY figure from by UK-based designer Nicky Lewis, has just been released to the public for purchase. The 6-inch figure design's pretty simple: a cube-shaped head, along with a round body and arms that have shoulder articulation. Still, artists like Jon-Paul Kaiser, A Little Stranger and Planet Domu have made some interesting customs on the platform already, which you can check out in the gallery.
If you like one, you can find the wodden Fo' Chisel for £40 and the resin Chisel for £14 in the Fo' Chisel shop. What's your thoughts on Fo' Chisel, Tomopop readers?
UK company Paladone has posted their online catalog of Transformers related products, and some of them are pretty neat. From a squishy stress-relief Bumblebee to an Optimus Prime egg cup to foamboard 3D puzzles of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee that look as though they might transform, the items are more creative than many licenced goods. Keep reading for some sample images and a link!
Butting in on his movie counterpart's corpse-wearin' ways, Hot Toys Optimus Prime Starscream Version is a slick, nontransforming figure of G1 Prime by the company responsible for all the pretty Iron Man figures most of us will never own. Sideshow Collectibles, official distributor of Hot Toys in the US, has posted images of the figure, which is due in July 2015 with an SRP of $345.
